Law, by its very nature, tends to think locally, not globally. This book has a broader scope in terms of the range of nations and offers a succinct journey through law schools on different continents and subject matters. It covers education, research, impact and societal outreach, and governance. It illustrates that law schools throughout the world have much in common in terms of values, duties, challenges, ambitions and hopes. It provides insights into these aspirations, whilst presenting a thought-provoking discussion for a more global agenda on the future of law schools. Written from the perspective of a former dean, the book offers a unique understanding of the challenges facing legal education and research.

Rechtsvergleichung kann immer dort aussagekraftig sein, wo aufgrund der Entwicklung der modemen Gesellschaften Fragestellungen notwendiger- weise in allen entwickelten Rechtssystemen auftauchen. Fur die K ntroll- dichte bei der Uberprufung von Verwaltungsentscheidungen gilt dieses in besonderem MaBe. Wenn sich auch aus der verfassungsrechtlichen Lage und der besonderen Verwaltungstradition unterschiedliche Perspektiven erge- ben, so steht doch die Grundfrage der Aufteilung der Verantwortung zwi- schen Verwaltung und Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit in allen Rechtsordnun- gen stark im Vordergrund. Die vom Max-Planck-lnstitut fur auslandisches Offentliches Recht und Volkerrecht im Herbst 1990 durchgefUhrte Veranstaltung sollte zu einer Klarung der Fragestellungen vor allem durch Einbeziehung von auslandi- schen Experten fUhren, die die deutsche Rechtslage ausreichend ubersahen. Der gesamte Band wird daher in deutscher Sprache vorgelegt. Er enthalt zuniichst neun schriftliche Berichte uber ausgewahlte Lander und die Euro- paischen Gemeinschaften, die die Grundlage fUr das Kolloquium schaffen sollten. 1m AnschluB hieran sind die drei vergleichenden, auf der Grundlage der schriftlichen Berichte erarbeiteten Referate, die auf dem Kolloquium mundlich prasentiert wurden, sowie die Diskussionsbeitrage der Teilnehmer abgedruckt. Das Erscheinen des Bandes hat sich bedauerlicherweise durch einige Umstande verzogert. Wir hoffen, daB der Inhalt gerade auch in der deutschen Verwaltungsrechtslehre und -praxis Beachtung finden wird. Heidelberg, im August 1992 JOCHEN ABR.

"'What About Law?' succeeds where so many legal guidebooks fail ... [it] skilfully demystifies the law and ably proves its argument. The law is, indeed, all around us - and this book will whet your appetite to find out how and why." - Alex Wade, The Times (of the previous edition) Law is one of the few subjects that the school leaver, choosing a degree course, will have very little real understanding of. This book comes to the rescue by clearly setting out what a prospective law student can expect and why a student should choose to study law. This new edition is updated to reflect the reality of studying law today, highlighting changes due to Brexit and reforms to constitutional law. The book covers the compulsory subjects every law student has to study: contract, criminal, property and trusts law, and brings them up to date. With a clear core structure and approach it takes a case from each of these subjects to illustrate legal issues and methodology. The writing style is accessible and has the audience - novices to law - firmly in mind. What About Law? shows how the study of law can be fun, intellectually stimulating and challenging. It introduces prospective students to the legal system, legal reasoning, critical thinking and argument. Written by a team of experienced teachers, this book should be read by every student about to embark on the study of law.

The ability to undertake effective legal research is one of the basic skills required of a lawyer. Yet all too often students only acquire this skill by trial and error, failing to grasp the essentials of legal research at an early stage in their studies. This second edition not only describes the literature of law for England, Wales and the European Community, but also includes information and techniques on researching the law of Scotland and European human rights law. It also features information on the sources of law being created by the newly devolved legislatures in Scotland and Wales.;The book provides advice on using a law library and how to make effective use of catalogues and indexes. Its practical approach will help students undertake particular research problems, and it shows how to record and present the results of research in projects, dissertations and theses. The information is presented under standard headings, with diagrams and charts provided where possible to aid in the practical use of complex publications. The whole range of modern electronic sources is also explained.;The book is primarily intended for undergraduate law students, but should also be useful to students following vocational training courses and newly qualified solicitors who are occasionally faced with unfamiliar research problems.

Der Aus- druck Logik wird im Rahmen der Philosophie sowohl als auch innerhalb der Einzelwissenschaften in mehreren, oftmals erheblich voneinander abweichen- den Bedeutungen verwandt. Der Sprachgebrauch ist sogar derart schillernd, dass einer scharfen Definition, sofern sie sich an den ublichen Sprachgebrauch anschliessen soll, nicht unerhebliche Schwierigkeiten im Wege stehen, denn bekanntlich spricht man von materialer, formaler, transzendentaler, regio- naler, reiner, angewandter, theoretischer, praktischer, hermeneutischer, rea- ler, naturlicher, klassischer und moderner Logik, um nur einige der zahl- 1 reichen Wortverknupfungen herauszugreifen - Fur die hier anzustellenden UEberlegungen vereinfacht sich jedoch die Frage nach einer passenden Definition. Wahrend namlich die Ansichten daruber, was man etwa unter materialer oder transzendentaler Logik zu verstehen habe, weitgehend divergieren, gilt fur den Begriff der formalen Logik cum grano salis das Gegenteil.

R957 Discovery Miles 9 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Teaching Law re-imagines law school teaching and scholarship by going beyond crises now besetting the legal academy and examining deeper and longer-lasting challenges. The book argues that the legal academy has long neglected the need to focus teaching and scholarship on the ideals of justice that law fitfully serves, the political origins of law, and the development of a respectful but critical relationship with the legal profession. It suggests reforms to improve the quality of legal education and responds to concerns that law schools eschew the study of justice, rendering students amoralist; that law schools slight the political sources of law, particularly in legislative action; and that law schools have ignored the profession entirely. These areas of neglect have impoverished legal teaching and scholarship as the academy is refashioned in response to current financial exigencies, and addressing them is long overdue.

Das Sozialversicherungsrecht ist durch eine beispiellose Vielzahl und Vielfalt untergesetzlicher Regelwerke gepragt. Die Untersuchung bietet eine weit ausgreifende Bestandsaufnahme und erstmals eine systematische Ordnung der untergesetzlichen Rechtsquellen des Rechts der gesetzlichen Kranken-, Renten- und Unfallversicherung, der sozialen Pflegeversicherung sowie der Arbeitslosenversicherung und Arbeitsfoerderung. Ausgehend von den Prinzipien der Demokratie und der Autonomie entwickelt der Verfasser zudem ein Konzept der Legitimation, das eine kritische UEberprufung der ermittelten normativen Phanomene ermoeglicht. Bei dieser UEberprufung erweisen sich insbesondere Regelungsmechanismen der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung als verfassungsrechtlich inakzeptabel. Die Kritik mundet in rechtspolitische Anregungen zur Loesung der diagnostizierten Legitimationsprobleme.

It has long been recognized that court trials in the common law system, both criminal and civil, operate around pairs of competing narratives told by opposing advocates. In recent years, however, it has increasingly been argued that narrative flows in many directions and through every form of legal theory and practice. Interest in the part played by metaphor in the law, including metaphors for the law, and for many standard concepts in legal practice, has also been strong, though research under the metaphor banner has been much more fragmentary. In this book, for the first time, a distinguished group of legal scholars, collaborating with specialists from cognitive theory, journalism, rhetoric, social psychology, criminology, and legal activism, explore how narrative and metaphor are both vital to the legal process. Together, they examine topics including concepts of law, legal persuasion, human rights law, gender in the law, innovations in legal thinking, legal activism, creative work around the law, and public debate around crime and punishment.

This collection of essays is a unique contribution to understanding the issues confronting law schools in Central and Eastern Europe and countries of the former Soviet Union as they seek to ensure that their programs meet the needs of 21st century lawyers. The book is unusual in two ways. First, most of the authors are faculty members at universities in the region. Despite a plethora of initiatives to reform legal education in Central and Eastern Europe and countries of the former Soviet Union, there has been little literature on the topic coming from the region itself. Second, the essays address structural issues as well as pedagogical ones (e.g., the disincentives for academics to invest time in developing new teaching methodologies and the problems posed by rigid government standards for higher education). It is particularly useful to have these essays collected in one book, so that readers can see both problems and some suggested solutions in a cross-cultural context.

Although the most characteristic of legal skills, representing clients in courts and tribunals is a skill which until recently was not taught. It was picked up by watching others and trying out one's own fears with little, if any, feedback. This book aims to change all that. There are no war stories and no solecisms. The work of advocacy is clearly divided into its constituent parts and each elements is covered in terms of both approach and content. The book is both a reading book and a course book and examples and exercises are given throughout. The approach is to build upon the new advocate's existing skills rather than mimicking an imagined ideal. It is also intended to be fun to read.

Marjorie Corman Aaron
R1,800 Discovery Miles 18 000 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Lawyers know that client counseling can be the most challenging part of legal practice. Clients question and often resist the complexities and uncertainties inherent in law and legal process. Honest advice from the lawyer can make a client doubt his or her allegiance and zeal. Client backlash may be directed at the lawyer who communicates bad news. Thus, the lawyer may feel torn between the obligation to clearly inform a client about weaknesses in legal positions and fear of damaging the client relationship. Too often, the lawyer struggles to counsel a particularly difficult client, but to no avail.
Client Science is written to provide insight and advice to lawyers on how to more effectively communicate with their clients with regard to legal realities and difficult decisions. It will help lawyers with the always-difficult task of delivering "bad news," which will result in better-informed and thus more satisfied clients. The book explains applicable social science research and insights and translates them into plain language relevant to legal practice and client counseling. Marjorie Corman Aaron offers specific suggestions related to a lawyer's ordering, timing, phrasing, and type of explanation, as well as style adjustments for the lawyer's voice, gesture, and body position, all to impact client counseling and to improve the lawyer-client relationship.

The Judge - 26 Machiavellian Lessons (Hardcover): Ronald K.L. Collins, David M. Skover The Judge - 26 Machiavellian Lessons (Hardcover)
Ronald K.L. Collins, David M. Skover
R843 Discovery Miles 8 430 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

There is no book of political strategy more canonical than Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, but few ethicists would advise policymakers to treat it as a bible. The lofty ideals of the law, especially, seem distant from the values that the word "Machiavellian" connotes, and judges are supposed to work above the realm of politics. In The Judge, however, Ronald Collins and David Skover argue that Machiavelli can indeed speak to judges, and model their book after The Prince. As it turns out, the number of people who think that judges in the U.S. are apolitical has been shrinking for decades. Both liberals and conservatives routinely criticize their ideological opponents on the bench for acting politically. Some authorities even posit the impossibility of apolitical judges, and indeed, in many states, judicial elections are partisan. Others advocate appointing judges who are committed to being dispassionate referees adhering to the letter of the law. However, most legal experts, regardless of their leanings, seem to agree that despite widespread popular support for the ideal of the apolitical judge, this ideal is mere fantasy. This debate about judges and politics has been a perennial in American history, but it intensified in the 1980s, when the Reagan administration sought to place originalists in the Supreme Court. It has not let up since. Ronald Collins and David Skover argue that the debate has become both stale and circular, and instead tackle the issue in a boldly imaginative way. In The Judge, they ask us to assume that judges are political, and that they need advice on how to be effective political actors. Their twenty-six chapters track the structure of The Prince, and each provides pointers to judges on how to cleverly and subtly advance their political goals. In this Machiavellian vision, law is inseparable from realpolitik. However, the authors' point isn't to advocate for this coldly realistic vision of judging. There ultimate goal is identify both legal realists and originalists as what they are: explicitly political (though on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum). Taking its cues from Machiavelli, The Judge describes what judges actually do, not what they ought to do.

Anne Lise Kjaer, Joanna Lam
R2,898 Discovery Miles 28 980 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

International law is usually communicated in more than one language and reflects common norms that lawyers and adjudicators across national legal cultures agree on and develop together. As a result, the negotiation of the wording and meaning of international legislative texts is an integral part of legal interpretation in international law. This book sheds light on that essential interpretation process. Language and Legal Interpretation in International Law treats the subject from the perspective of recent legal and linguistic theories of meaning. Anne Lise Kjaer and Joanna Lam bring together internationally renowned experts to provide strong theoretical and practical foundations for the study of legal interpretation in such fields as human rights law, international trade, investment and commercial law, EU law, and international criminal law. The volume explains how the positivist tradition-in which interpretation is understood as an automatic process by which judges simply apply the text of legislative instruments to specific fact situations-cannot be upheld in an era of pragmatic and cognitive meaning theories. Those theories instead focus on the context of interpretation and on the interpreter as a co-producer of meaning. Through a collection of thoroughly researched and timely essays, this book explores the linguistically and culturally diversified world of meaning-making in international law.

Many legal writing texts emphasize how one writes; this book is unique because it also focuses on why one writes. Every chapter challenges the reader to write to achieve a strategic objective. Each assignment has been carefully considered by the authors, and fully vetted to simulate the decision-making involved in the preparation of important legal writing, whether in a general counsel's office, a law office, a government attorney's office, or a judge's chambers. Simply put, the authors' approach is that effective legal writing does not exist in a vacuum. This book provides practical assignments that teach the student that the best legal writing is not an end in itself, but a means to a larger strategic objective.
